Re: Windows 7 compatibility--any issues?
I have a laptop with Windows 7 64bit.

I had no problems using Labview or writing VI's.

As with all the other operating systems, turn off your Firewall before:
I had no issues with Imaging the CRIO.
I had no issues downloading code.
I had no issues running/probing code.

I was even able to install the Driver Station code and operated as the Driver Station with the Dashboard with no problems.

The only thing I haven't done is copy projects from a 32bit to 64bit OS and vice-verse. I've been told there's an issue with finding the built in VI's because the "home" directory names are different.

I have been able to copy custom/team created VI's back and forth without any issues.

I hope this helps.
